I know some of you might think we Brits complain too much about 30 or 32 degree heat... but I keep saying our heat is different to any other on the planet.. goodness knows how but it, is and it feels much Hotter
here an Australian Ex pat who is used to 40 degree heat in Oz says she cannot bear the heat in England..
The social media star claimed the current British heatwave has her considering flying back to Australia because she feels like a 'rotisserie chicken being cooked'.
'The weather in the UK is something else,' she said. '28C in Britain is different to the same temperature in Australia.'
Emily recalled laughing at Britains heatwave where residents complained about 30C weather - but everything changed when she moved to London herself.
I thought you were all a pair of sooks who needed to harden up,' she revealed.
Emily then experienced her first British heatwave and couldn't cope with the heavy humidity.
The temperature was in the high-20s - but I was dying. I was not sleeping, I had my windows shut because I was scared and I live in an [unsafe] area.
'It literally was the most f**king draining time - and I knew I couldn't act the same way back home.'
Emily added, 'If I complained about 28C in Australia, I'd be exported from the country. I'd be so embarrassed.'
The Brisbane woman finally understood why Londoners prefer low-20s weather because it was 'nice' and there was a 'cool breeze'.
'I'm getting ready for the UK winter now and I'm trying to convince myself I prefer it after almost dying during the summer we had.'
'My deepest apologies to the Brits,' she said.
Many Londoners thanked her to sharing the 'truth' about English summer.
'Everyone laughs at us until they experience a British heatwave - UK heat is from the pits of hell,' a woman said.
'The way everyone says we're being dramatic until they actually experience it,' another echoed.
'British heat is is like moist and damp and other countries have dry heat which obviously is less hot,' a third said.
'Last year it was 40C and it felt like being cooked,' a woman said. 'My house in South London was 37C inside. No air-conditioner, built to hold heat and humidity!'
Other expats shared similar experiences to Emily.
'It's been averaging 42C here in Texas, I grew up in the UK and I would take Texas's 42C over UK's 28C any day,' a man said.
'I lived in France and every summer it was 40C - but oh my, 27C in England is like 39C in France,' another wrote.
